This is somewhat over the top, many places don't have stop signs,

Well, if it hasn't got a stop sign, surely no driver can be accused of
failing to stop at it? [1]

Stopping short of the sign would be worse than going past because
the back of the train could be off the platform.

What sign?

all the best

[1] I'm reminded of a colleague who received an official "opportunity
to pay a fixed penalty" for failing to stop at a red traffic light at
the junction of X road and Y street. He couldn't recall ever having
been there, but he went and looked, and found that there were no
traffic lights at that junction.
